温馨提示：1．要说明现代生活的压力，我们要理解压力是生活的一部分；2．生活中人们对压力的态度是如何的；3．通过了解这些，说出我对压力的看法。

Pressure seems to be a natural part in our daily life in this competitive society. Like it or not there is always pressure of one kind or another. And it seems there is hardly any way to avoid it or get rid of it. Moreover, as the pace of modern life continues to quicken, pressure seems to be on the increase all the time.

Different people have different ideas about pressure. Some hold that pressure is something very vicious. If there is too much of it, it will lead to the decline of one's physical and mental health. So they are always complaining about it or trying to flee from it. They think, only relaxation, the opposite of pressure, is what we should desire. Others on the other hand, argue that pressure is not as bad as is often thought. In fact a certain amount of pressure is essential to provide motivation and meaning to our life. It is pressure that propels our progress and contributes to our success.

Personally, I'm in favor of the latter idea. I believe that a little pressure is certainly an important incentive in life. It is only when the pressure gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and bad health. Since it is impossible to avoid pressure, certainly there is no sense trying to do so or complaining about it.

压力似乎是在这个竞争激烈的社会中我们的日常生活中很自然的一部分。无论喜欢还是不喜欢，总是有一种或另一种压力。似乎没有任何办法来避免或摆脱它。此外，随着现代生活的节奏不断加快，压力似乎也是一直在增加。

不同的人对压力有不同的看法，有些人认为压力是很邪恶的东西。如果有太多的压力，它会导致一个人的身心健康状况的下降，所以他们总是抱怨或试图逃避 它。他们认为与压力相反只有放松是我们应该渴望的。另一方面，其它人认为压力是不是像通常想法。事实上，一定的压力是为我们的生活提供动力和意义，压力推 动我们进步有助于我们的成功。

就我个人而言，我支持后者的观点，我相信压力的确是一个重要的激励。只有当压力失去控制才导致糟糕的表现以及不好健康状态。因为无法避免的压力，当然试图抱怨是毫无意义的。
